CAPOT et al - I give up! Have you read CAP 382 and its allusions to UK CAA AOCs? Have you read Part M Subpart B or AMC 20-8?
Can't speak for al, but yes, yes, they live in my office library, and no not for a while and the dreadful EASA site won't disgorge it.
Why do some ppruners always assume that they are the only people on the planet who can read and understand?
Incidentally, to my mind it's very arguable that CAP 382 supports the contention that this incident could/should have been MOR'ed IF it was a case of gross error. The CAA then decide whether to follow up. Part M Subpart B has the broad framework within which CAP 382 operates. Perhaps AMC 20-8 contradicts CAP 382 and no doubt Bus 429, who knows it so well will provide chapter and verse if it does.
With respect to Mad_jock; dispatch within or outside company limits (for a delay report?) has nothing to do with whether or not an MOR is needed.
It would be merely repetitious to repeat that capturing an error may save lives but
does not mean that the error need not be investigated or even MOR'ed.
I'll buy the last-minute runway-end change as a possible cause, if someone confirms that this makes a 1.5 Tonne difference. Could a wind change be that unexpected and that dramatic? Perhaps, in ABZ; I don't know.
But it's no excuse for how it was handled.
